BROOKSVILLE, Florida (Nov. 12, 2009) - The Monique Burr Foundation <http://moniqueburrfoundation.org/> for Children raised more than $15,000 at its 4th annual Southern Hills Golf Tournament at Southern Hills Plantation Club, a private club and course designed by the legendary Pete Dye.
"This tournament was a great success and we're proud of the money raised for the foundation and its mission to prevent child abuse throughout the state," said Jim Harvey, chairman of the Monique Burr Foundation advisory board in Tampa.

Tournament participants enjoyed 18 holes of golf, golf contests, a player gift bag, door prizes, a silent auction, raffles, breakfast and lunch, and an awards ceremony throughout the day. The tournament was held one week before the PGA Qualifier Q-School, allowing golfers the rare opportunity to play the course in championship condition.
